-
Keep and reverse the order
Begin with visual digits. Keep their positions, then follow the direction shown for each run.
Lessons & practices
LessonRead the recall direction 3 min readPracticeDigit span uses forward recall at Level 1. Later levels may ask for forward or backward recall. Check the direction before starting each run.
-
Sort what you remember
Keep the characters in mind while changing their order: numbers first, then letters.
Lessons & practices
LessonSort digits, then letters 3 min readPracticeThis practice uses digits 1–9 and English letters A–Z. Read the local-language instructions before watching the sequence.
-
Recall what you hear
Use listening instead of watching. Recall the same order or reverse it using the practice’s order selector.
Lessons & practices
LessonListen, then order the digits 2 min readPracticeThe recordings say the digits in English. Complete the sound check first. Familiarity with spoken English numbers affects this task.
-
Keep the newest items
Update what you hold as more digits arrive, keeping only the latest part of the stream.
Lessons & practices
LessonKeep the newest digits 3 min readPracticeFollow the requested tail length. A longer stream does not mean you need to remember every digit.
-
Hold a sequence between tasks
Keep letters in order while checking short arithmetic statements between them.
Lessons & practices
LessonHold letters between sums 3 min readPracticePay attention to both the arithmetic checks and the letter order. Use this practice’s own level; its numbers are not equivalent to Digit span levels.
